TV Watchlist: Say My Name, Say My Name

For Who-vians, this week is particularly special as Stephen Moffat promises fans will learn something about the Doctor never clearly known before — his name.

In addition, Moffat cleverly spins a web revealing the Doctor’s feelings for River Song and resolving the mystery of “Impossible Girl” Clara Oswald. All this is leading up to what promises to be an epic finish with the 50th anniversary this November.

A galaxy of fans have also spun theories, analyzed each frame and counted the seconds until this Saturday. However, a handful already know what happens due to a shipping error that caused a “small number” of DVDs to be sent out three weeks early. In full damage-control mode, the BBC has gone so far as to promise a “special video” featuring Matt Smith and David Tennant if fans can keep the finale’s secrets off the Internet.

Steven Moffat has promised if fans help keep the finale’s secrets, we’ll release a special video featuring Matt & David right after the ep!
